> The problem with a "pure democracy" is that majority cannot be smarter than the top 5% individuals, so really good ideas almost never getting thorough the bulk of a bell curve. Python is governed as "benevolent dictatorship" (with Guido as BDFL and maintainers as your "top 5%"), definitely not "pure democracy", so your argument doesn't really hold. When it comes to the syntax, just because something is "very clever" doesn't mean that it's necessarily a good idea. Syntax changes should be carefully considered and introduced only if the benefit clearly outweighs the cost of extra complexity. If you still believe that it's such a good idea then feel free to draft a PEP: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/ |
